Requirements/Eligibility For Super Visas

If you want to temporarily visit your children or grandchildren in Canada for an extended period of time (two years at a time for up to 10 years), you’ll need a super visa. This is different from a visitor visa which only allows you to stay for up to six months at a time. After which, you’d need to extend your visa. A super visa is also only available to parents and grandparents.

Be A Parent/Grandparent of Canadian Citizens

The child or grandchild you’re visiting must be a resident of Canada and should have signed a letter inviting you to Canada that states the necessary information about them, and yourself. You’ll also need to show a copy of their permanent residency or Canadian citizenship, as well as outline the number of people in the household.

Apply Outside of Canada

When you apply for a super visa, it should be done prior to entering Canada (in your home country). You must also not be considered “inadmissible to Canada” under Canada’s immigration law. There are certain reasons you may not be allowed into Canada including medical or criminal reasons.

Have Financial Support

You must provide proof that the household you’re visiting meets the minimum requirements. The minimum requirements will vary depending on how many people are in the household. You can provide proof of their funds with a T4 slip of the recent year, a letter from their employer, pay stubs, or bank statements.

Took An Immigration Medical Exam

Any visitor who is planning on staying for more than six months must undergo a medical exam and provide proof of medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company that is valid for one year and has at least $100,000 coverage. You must also provide proof that you’d paid for it. Your own doctor cannot do the exam. You must visit a doctor in your country that is on a list of panel physicians approved by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

Other Conditions

Immigration officers will also look at other things before deciding whether or not you can come to Canada. For example, the ties to your home country, why you’re visiting Canadian citizens, what your family’s finances are like, and the economic and political stability of your country. After you’ve applied for a super visa to Canada, most applications are processed within a few weeks or less, so don’t apply for it right before you intend on visiting Canada. In order to make the processing time quicker, make sure you have submitted all the documents and have completed the application correctly.

This Does Not Provide Permanent Residency To Canada

Super visas provide temporary residence. If you plan on visiting Canada for longer than the allowed time frame or if you plan on permanently living with your children or grandchildren, you need to submit a sponsorship application instead. If you want to extend your stay, you can also apply for a visitor record which will have a new expiry date. Again, this is different from a visitor visa.
